I dunno, it does seem sexist to me. Maybe I am being a fuddy-duddy here, but if this were a group of frat bros bro-ing out on their phones I don’t think the cameraman or announcers would’ve paid much attention at all.

I just blocked my ex again from social media. I unblocked for a very specific reason that I needed to get in contact with him for. Was not calling because I changed my number. Was not emailing because I blocked him there too. We gave him the info he needed and in turn, he took the opportunity to eek out a shitty

Yeah, well baseball is duller than pig shit. What else is there to do?

The problem is that the definition you just posted there isn’t what she meant. Humanism has zero to do with equal gender rights. Feminism promotes the nice easy balance she spoke of. She meant feminism, but she was afraid to say it.

It disappears sexism (real sexism; not “misandry”) as an axis of oppression.

Privilege.

By all means, keep using the term “wife,” to mean someone who takes care of all of that shit.

So this is like the candle parties and the jewelry parties and the skin care parties? Ugh. Basically the Avon dream? That concept definitely sells a lie, that you can sell enough crap to have a career on your own schedule. Take it from me, job hunting for three months now — there is no easy way to earn a living wage.

I also think that fundamentally the capitalist system as practiced in America, with its hyperfocus on maximizing results at all costs, operates in concert with cultural stereotypes in a way that is detrimental to women. We teach boys to fight and women to compromise, and the capitalism we practice in this country

Actually, we need to separate “work-life balance” from parenthood, or motherhood, so that it applies to everyone. Nobody should be working 60 hours every week, regardless of parental status. We need to make it clear that parents aren’t asking for special treatment when they want to leave the office at 5. Everyone

I am glad to see elder care mentioned and discussion of “family” leave. Because even if you don’t have children or plan to have children, women also generally end up bearing the responsibility of caring for sick parents/siblings/partners.

Just a suggestion: it would be interesting if Jezebel did a piece on multi-level marketing, which as far as I can see exploits women’s desire to be both successful entrepeneurs and sexy stay-at-home moms. Personally, I think women are being victimized by the idea that a successful woman must 1) run her own company, 2)

Someone needs to tell them that their three political axioms are bad.

I know that, and I get it; that’s the reason I feel torn, because I know how important it is. But on the flip side, there is so much that needs to be done here and now, at the same time. If our government had properly managed our money in the first place, this would be such a triumph (more than it is). There would be

I would feel a lot better about this (which I do think is great) if there weren’t 300 million things in America that could really use that money. Women’s reproductive rights, domestic violence, homelessness, our own healthcare issues in the US and, of course, the over $18 trillion of national debt (among numerous

Yes! There is definitely jealousy. “How come WOMEN get to have sex so easily and I don’t!” with this bizarre idea that it’s somehow NOT difficult for women who fall outside the “acceptable” range of age and weight and height and facial attractiveness and skin tone and level of grooming to find sexual partners.

So are you agreeing that the title “MRA” is not fitting? Why can’t people just use “douchebag” anymore? Why does Jezebel keep forcing this “MRA” schtick in every article about some assholes? Maybe they could coin RMA - raging misogynistic asshole? Sounds much more fitting.

I am so disappoint that I’m almost 30 and had no idea that it stretches. What is even the point of health class or sex ed

Oh I’ve come across these dudes in real life too. One of my long time acquaintances recently brought up that he discovered one of those pick up artist books, and was also talking about purity and cock carousals and whatever else the fuck they all talk about. I drunkenly tried to argue with him about how it’s bullshit

Just about everyone is out of my league. I'm the real life equivalent of Oscar the Grouch. I even almost live in a fuckin gabage can. I don't need a new app to tell me how nicer looking wealthier people have no interest in me. I live life like Obi-Wan Kenobi, I'm a hermit. This app can go kick rocks.
